M. Kopcewicz et al., STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATIONS IN FE ZR BILAYERS AND MULTILAYERS INDUCED BY ION-BEAM MIXING/, Hyperfine interactions, 112(1-4), 1998, pp. 25-28
The Ar-ion-beam mixing of Fe/Zr bi- and multilayers is studied by conv
ersion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy as a function of ion dose rangi
ng from 1x10(14) to 1x10(17) at./cm(2). The mixing leads to amorphizat
ion of the Fe/Zr system. It was shown that the mixing process in bilay
ers depends strongly on the thickness of the Zr substrate. The amorphi
zation is much more effective and occurs at lower ion doses in multila
yers as compared to corresponding bilayers.
